Van Dale Rhyming Dictionary
Words rhyme if they have the same rhyme ending. The rhyme ending is the last full vowel (not toneless e) plus all consonants and any toneless e’s that follow it. The rhyme endings of plus, at in consonants are respectively us, at in inkers.
Rhyme is about sound. The rhyme ending of curb sounds like aar and that rhymes with stretcher in guitar. The rhyme ending of computer sounds like otter and that rhymes with floundered in scooter. The rhyme ending of umlaut sounds like out and that rhymes with triplicate, incrowd in licorice root.
To rhyme properly, you have to take into account the stress of the word and the number of syllables. The Van Dale Rhyming Dictionary helps you with this, because it sorts all found rhyming words by similarity of stress and number of syllables.
You can choose from two word lists: Standard and Extended. The best matching rhymes are always at the top, under the heading ‘The best rhyming words for …’ Then follow the less well-matched rhymes under the heading ‘More words that rhyme with …’
Also look at the bottom of the list. There are usually a number of expressions that can give a poem, song or verse an unexpected, playful and original character: sint – Nothing ventured nothing gained.
It is of course possible that you enter a word that is not in the file of the Van Dale Rhyme Dictionary. If you type in an ‘old’ spelling, eg. pancake of productionthe program corrects automatically.
This rhyming dictionary is new and therefore there may still be some imperfections here and there. We will update and update the dictionary regularly.
